Abstract

A theory is proposed for stationary homogeneous nucleation in supersaturated vapor in which a modified expression for the rate of cluster evaporation was used to calculate the equilibrium distribution over the nucleus sizes and the rates of their formation. This rate was determined by the extrapolation to the region of small sizes of the corresponding expression for the macroscopic droplet derived according to thermodynamic notions that take fluctuations into account. Modified dependences of the size of critical nucleus and the rate of nucleation on the supersaturation and the temperature are determined and compared with the data of the classical theory of nucleation and experimental results.
